Dr. Hao’s recent paper, titled “CRISPR-Cas-amplified urinary biomarkers for multiplexed and portable cancer diagnostics”, details how polymers, DNA, and peptides combined in the design of a nano-scale sensor of tumors. This tool leverages unique protease signature of the tumor microenvironment and delivers a simple, portable test for urine samples. The work was recently featured in MIT News - “A simple paper test could offer early cancer diagnosis”.
